The Cast provides a hierarchical display of all the objects on a page while highlighting the currently selected object. Whatever object is selected on the page will be highlighted in the Cast, and vice-versa. The Cast can be used to select objects, show and hide objects, lock objects, and adjust object layering.

User tip: Double-click the blue Cast title bar to quickly re-size the Cast.

To Open the Cast

Open the Design panels by clicking on the Splitter bar.

Click on the Cast panel header bar.

To Resize the Cast

As the number of objects on your page grows, the size of the Cast tree also grows. It thus sometimes becomes larger than you can see at once. For this reason, it sometimes helps to resize the Cast.
